As Brave as We Could Be is the only studio album by British band Jellicoe, issued by Do-Little Records in 2001.

[1] It is notable as the first album to feature Jay McAllister who later went on to have a successful career as a folk singer-songwriter under the stage name Beans On Toast.

[3] After gaining a following playing local venues around the county, including a headlining slot at the Harlow Square, they were signed to Do-Little Records.

[4] Describing first single "Panic 250", Louis Pattison of the NME wrote that "Jellicoe roll out the same pleasing list of influences that have warmed the cockles of Steve Lamacq's heart since the beginning of recorded indie time.

"[5] Lamacq himself supported the album by playing follow up single "Self Defence" on his Radio 1 show The Evening Session, with NME's Victoria Segal remarking that "this trio of Essex adolescents certainly have the courage of their ramshackle convictions" in her review of the track.
